buildcsr(6)
NAME
buildcsr - builds a cursor
SYNOPSIS
buildcsr [-p name -b name -m mode -s]
DESCRIPTION
buildcsr presents a blank screen with a cursor. One may
hold down the left mouse button and draw the color1 part
of the cursor on the screen. Typing 2 on the keyboard will
cause color2 to be drawn. The cursor can be viewed as a
cursor by typing n. To modify the cursor type o to go
back to the original cursor. Pixels may be erased by
clicking on them with the right mouse button. The left
mouse button will draw either color1 or color2, depending
on whether 1 or 2 was chosen from the keyboard last. The
current color is displayed at the bottom of the screen.
OPTIONS
-p and
- -b followed by name will produce a cursor file with
- the name name.
- -p will produce a c language definition of the cursor
- suitable for inclusion in a program as a header
file. - -b will produce a binary cursor file which may be read
- into a user program at execution time.
- -m mode , a mode number will cause the program to run
- in mode mode. This will not make a difference in
the screen representation of the cursor, but the
cursor itself will be much smaller in high resolu
tion modes. Thus, for high resolution it is wise
to construct the cursor using the resolution at
which it is intended to be used. Typing n will
show the cursor as it will look at the resolution
of the screen. If no mode is given using -m the
mode will be SVGALIB_DEFAULT_MODE if that has been defined in an environment variable. If no default
has been given and no -m was used, the screen mode
will be mode 5, G320x200x256, which is default for
this program. The hardware cursor will be used if
a hardware cursor exists for the video card in use,
otherwise the software cursor will be used. - -s option will force the software cursor to be used
- even if a hardware cursor exists.
ENVIRONMENT
- SVGALIB_DEFAULT_MODE
- will be used if it has been defined and -m was not
given. If neither of these are in effect the mode
will be mode 5, G320x200x256.
